2020 Best Schools in St. Louis CountyAbout this List

Marshall School

• Private School
• Duluth, MN
• 4-12
• 25 reviews

Senior: Marshall School is a great academic school that offers many resources when it comes to education. The school offers a lot of assistance and hands-on learning for every subject. The teachers are very flexible and help accommodate to every student. If I could change anything about the school though, I would change how much the administration controls things, and give more a voice to the student body.

Harbor City International School

• Public School
• Duluth, MN
• 9-12
• 35 reviews

Alum: After transferring during my senior year, I had never felt like I belonged anywhere. But Harbor City opened it's doors and welcomed me in. I made some of the closest friends there and made amazing connections with the teachers that some still continue to this day. Harbor City was my second chance and I truly found who I was through it.

East High School

• Duluth Public School District, MN
• 9-12
• 192 reviews

Senior: East's Music program is very good skill-wise but very underfunded, like most music and art programs. The athletic department seems to put most of its focus on its hockey team, though the hockey team is pretty successful. Overall, the school has great academics, teachers, and activities, with a very safe and welcoming environment. They do have a very high counselor to student ratio, though, with only 4 counselors and nearly 1700 students.The diversity is not too good, but the school is in Northern Minnesota after all.

Alum: I loved how the teachers are very personable. Small Class sizes were a huge plus! The staff and faculty give all their attention to students and their academics. Athletics were a huge plus as well. At Ely Memorial you have a home away from home.

Hermantown Senior High School

• Hermantown Public School District, MN
• 9-12
• 80 reviews

Alum: When I attended Hermantown Senior High, my experience was a very positive one. The overall atmosphere was a relatively positive one, and the teachers and staff were all helpful. The classes were interesting, and it was made easier because of the many different options of classes we had. If I were to change anything about Hermantown Senior High, it would have to be to somehow create stricter bullying policies. I, personally didn't experience much bullying during my time in high school, but I do know that many did. Hermantown does have safe places to go and the counselors are incredibly helpful. I also know that there is no way to completely eradicate bullying, but maybe if students who are victims of harassment felt there were safe places to go or knew about them, it could help.

Virginia Secondary School

• Virginia Public School District, MN

• 81 reviews

Senior: My experience was greatly enjoyable, the atmosphere was safe and friendly, the classes offered made sure there was something for everyone. You could go to school everyday and see happy students and teachers. There wasn’t a student parking lot so parking could sometimes be an issue, but that was small compared to the rest of the experience. When I graduate I can say that I enjoyed my years and will miss the place and all the teachers and friends I made. But there’s a new school being built so I’m interested to see how it will turn out for future students. It will be combining with a school we have a large athletic rivalry with.

Denfeld High School

• Duluth Public School District, MN
• 9-12
• 36 reviews

Senior: I love the culture at Denfeld; our class feels like a family and everyone respects everyone else. The school spirit is awesome and I love how we have many school traditions. I really love the building because it is old and has history rather than feeling like an average cookie cutter industrial school. The teachers are all very friendly and care about the students. The only downside I would say is that you can’t always take the classes you want to take, but that is a district problem. I love going here!
